USCIS phone number

[c-marie 0]

I need to get a hold of USCIS for a general question (that I can’t find the answer for on their website), and the only phone number I found was 1-800-375-5283 and that phone number is not available from my calling area. Does anyone know of any other phone numbers?

That's the only number. You aren't missing much as people here call it the MISinformation number with reason.

You can call the 800 # with Skype.

The local number that I found after digging around rang out of service.

But if your question is general, have you tried posting it here? Someone may have already dealt with the same issue and have the answer.

I was able to locate a number that is answered by some random employee like cleaning staff or something and they were able to transfer me directly to a person. This was solid gold, considering our case number never showed up in the system so we couldn't use the automated system and couldn't figure out the menu items to get us past that. They were able to confirm that even though we didn't show up in the online system, our case was in their internal system. That was all the help they could provide, but that was what we were looking for.

I don't have the secret number here, but if you need it, I can find it when I am back at the office on monday.

Actually my question I have is not too general it’s actually very specific and I guess that’s why I can’t find the answer.

I posted on here a few weeks ago that my boyfriends soon to be ex wife is planning a move to the US with their son (to be with her boyfriend, an American citizen) and that she wasn’t willing to share any information on visas so we have resulted to doing our own research on the process.

Well we have now figured out why she wasn’t sharing any information. It turns out she is pregnant with her boyfriend’s child. From what we know she plans on having the child in Canada then move to the US.

She will have to get my boyfriend’s permission to move or the courts permission. And from what his lawyer said there really is no point in trying to stop her from moving because the courts will allow her to move since they will have a child together.

Before we assumed that she was going to apply for a K1 visa, but from we understood about the process is that the divorce needed to be finalized before she could apply. What our question is (sorry it took me so long to get to it ) once she has this child can she move before their divorce is finalized?

Not legally. She needs to be free to marry to be sponsored to the US as either a fiancee or as a spouse. If she is still married she cannot legally move to the US on any type of a family visa that is available to her. She could visit but visitation has limits both time wise and what she is allowed to do while in the US. It also has serious repercussions if it is abused. Depending on how old your boyfriend's son is, I don't know if she would be able to register him for school in the US as a visitor but I doubt it.

She can move, without any visa, and lie to border officials to get across, saying she's just going for a visit. I doubt she'd be able to bring anything other than her suitcase because they'd be suspicious. Then she'd be living here in the US illegally. If she's bringing children, she'll need a letter or something from the father saying he's okay with her taking the child(ren) across the border for a visit. Without being divorced, her boyfriend in the US can't be applying for anything, so they have nothing at USCIS to which you could call them on. They're not going to give any information to you anyway.

This lady needs to have her head examined.

Thanks for the help. We weren't sure if the fact that she is going to have a child with an American changes things.

Thanks again
